The ArBERTV2_EL model is a transformer-based Arabic language model fine-tuned using the Entity Linking (EL) task. This model leverages Knowledge Graphs (KGs) for intrinsic evaluation of Masked Language Modeling (MLM) models without directly evaluating the EL model. The EL task ensures that the model benefits from the incorporation of structured knowledge during pre-training.

Uses

Direct Use

Filling masked tokens in Arabic text, particularly in contexts enriched with knowledge from KGs.

Downstream Use

Can be further fine-tuned for Arabic NLP tasks that require semantic understanding, such as text classification or question answering.

How to Get Started with the Model

python

from transformers import pipeline
fill_mask = pipeline("fill-mask", model="AfnanTS/ArBERTV2_EL")
fill_mask("اللغة [MASK] مهمة جدا."

Training Details

Training Data
